Psalms 68
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM. A SONG OF DAVID. God rises [and] His enemies are scattered! And those hating Him flee from His face.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Oluyimba lwa Dawudi. Katonda agolokoke, abalabe be basaasaane, n’abo abamukyawa bamudduke.
2 You drive them away as the driving away of smoke, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.
Ng’empewo bw’efuumuula omukka, naawe bafuumuule bw’otyo; envumbo nga bw’esaanuuka mu muliro, n’abakola ebibi bazikirire bwe batyo mu maaso ga Katonda!
3 And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they rejoice with gladness.
Naye abatuukirivu basanyuke bajagulize mu maaso ga Katonda, nga bajjudde essanyu.
4 Sing to God—praise His Name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In YAH [is] His Name, and exult before Him.
Muyimbire Katonda, muyimbe nga mutendereza erinnya lye; mumuyimusize amaloboozi gammwe oyo atambulira mu bire. Erinnya lye ye Mukama, mujagulize mu maaso ge.
5 Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, [Is] God in His holy habitation.
Ye Kitaawe w’abataliiko bakitaabwe, ye mukuumi wa bannamwandu; ye Katonda abeera mu kifo kye ekitukuvu.
6 God—causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only—the stubborn have inhabited a dry place.
Katonda afunira abatalina we babeera ekifo eky’okubeeramu, aggya abasibe mu kkomera n’abagaggawaza; naye abajeemu babeera mu bifo bikalu ddala.
7 O God, in Your going forth before Your people, In Your stepping through the wilderness, (Selah)
Ayi Katonda, bwe wakulembera abantu bo, n’obayisa mu ddungu,
8 The earth has shaken, Indeed, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai—before God, the God of Israel.
ensi yakankana, eggulu ne lifukumula enkuba mu maaso ga Katonda; n’olusozi Sinaayi ne lukankana awali Katonda, Katonda wa Isirayiri!
9 You shake out a shower of free-will gifts, O God. Your inheritance, when it has been weary, You have established it.
Watonnyesa enkuba nnyingi ku nsi, Ayi Katonda; ensi y’obusika bwo n’ogizzaamu obugimu bwe bwali nga buggweerera;
10 Your creature has dwelt in it, You prepare for the poor in Your goodness, O God.
abantu bo ne babeera omwo; era olw’ekisa kyo ekingi, Ayi Katonda, abaavu ne bafuna bye beetaaga okuva ku bugagga bwo.
11 The Lord gives the saying, The female proclaimers [are] a numerous host.
Mukama yalangirira; ne babunyisa ekigambo kye; baali bangi ne boogera nti:
12 Kings of hosts utterly flee away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportions spoil.
“Bakabaka badduse n’amaggye gaabwe; abantu ne bagabana omunyago.
13 Though you lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
Balabe bwe banyirira n’obugagga bwa ffeeza ne zaabu! Babikkiddwa ng’ejjuba bwe libikkibwa ebiwaawaatiro byalyo.”
14 When the Mighty spreads kings in it, it snows in Salmon.
Ayinzabyonna yasaasaanya bakabaka, ne baba ng’omuzira bwe gugwa ku Zalumoni.
15 A hill of God [is] the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights [is] the hill of Bashan.
Ggwe olusozi olw’ekitiibwa, olusozi lwa Basani; ggwe olusozi olw’emitwe emingi, olusozi lwa Basani!
16 Why do you envy, O high hills, The hill God has desired for His seat? YHWH also dwells forever.
Lwaki otunuza obuggya ggwe olusozi olw’emitwe emingi? Lwaki okwatirwa obuggya olusozi Katonda lwe yalonda okufugirako? Ddala okwo Mukama kw’anaabeeranga ennaku zonna.
17 The chariots of God [are] myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
Mukama ava ku lusozi Sinaayi nga yeetooloddwa amagaali enkumi n’enkumi n’ajja mu kifo kye ekitukuvu.
18 You have ascended on high, You have taken captivity captive, You have taken gifts for men, That even the stubborn may rest, O YAH God.
Bwe walinnyalinnya olusozi, ng’abanyage bakugoberera; abantu ne bakuwa ebirabo nga ne bakyewaggula mwebali; bw’atyo Mukama Katonda n’abeeranga wamu nabo.
19 Blessed [is] the Lord, day by day He lays on us. God Himself [is] our salvation. (Selah)
Atenderezebwe Mukama, Katonda omulokozi waffe, eyeetikka emigugu gyaffe egya buli lunaku.
20 God Himself [is] to us a God for deliverances, And YHWH Lord has the outgoings of death.
Katonda waffe ye Katonda alokola; era tuddukira eri Mukama Katonda okuwona okufa.
21 Only—God strikes The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt.
Ddala, Katonda alibetenta emitwe gy’abalabe be, kubanga ne mu bukadde bwabwe balemera mu bibi byabwe.
22 The Lord said: “From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea.
Mukama agamba nti, “Ndibakomyawo nga mbaggya mu Basani, ndibazza nga mbaggya mu buziba bw’ennyanja,
23 So that you dash your foot In the blood of enemies—the tongue of Your dogs.”
mulyoke munaabe ebigere byammwe mu musaayi gw’abalabe bammwe, n’embwa zammwe zeefunire ebyokulya.”
24 They have seen Your goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary.
Ekibiina kyo ky’okulembedde bakirabye, Ayi Katonda, balabye abali ne Katonda wange, era Kabaka wange, ng’otambula okugenda mu watukuvu;
25 Singers have been before, Behind [are] players on instruments, Virgins playing with timbrels in the midst.
abayimbi nga bakulembedde, ab’ebivuga nga bavaako emabega ne wakati waabwe nga waliwo abawala abakuba ebitaasa.
26 In assemblies bless God, The Lord—from the fountain of Israel.
Mutendereze Katonda mu kibiina ekinene; mumutendereze Mukama, mmwe abakuŋŋaanye abangi Abayisirayiri.
27 There [is] little Benjamin, their ruler, Heads of Judah their defense, Heads of Zebulun—heads of Naphtali.
Waliwo ekika kya Benyamini asinga obuto kye kikulembedde, ne kuddako ekibinja ekinene eky’abalangira ba Yuda, n’abalangira ba Zebbulooni n’abalangira ba Nafutaali.
28 Your God has commanded your strength, Be strong, O God, You have worked this for us.
Laga obuyinza bwo, Ayi Katonda, otulage amaanyi go, Ayi Katonda onyweze ebyo by’otukoledde.
29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem, Kings bring a present to You.
Bakabaka balikuleetera ebirabo olwa Yeekaalu yo eri mu Yerusaalemi.
30 Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a herd of bulls, With calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of silver, You scatter peoples delighting in conflicts.
Nenya ensolo enkambwe ey’omu bisaalu, eggana lya ziseddume eriri mu nnyana z’amawanga. Gikkakkanye ereete omusolo ogwa ffeeza. Osaasaanye amawanga agasanyukira entalo.
31 Fat ones come out of Egypt, Cush causes her hands to run to God.
Ababaka baliva e Misiri, ne Kuusi aligondera Katonda.
32 Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God, Praise the Lord! (Selah)
Muyimbire Katonda mmwe obwakabaka obw’ensi zonna. Mutendereze Mukama.
33 To Him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Behold, He gives with His voice a strong voice.
Oyo eyeebagala eggulu erya waggulu ery’edda, eddoboozi lye ery’amaanyi liwuluguma okuva mu ggulu.
34 Ascribe strength to God, His excellence [is] over Israel, and His strength in the clouds.
Mulangirire obuyinza bwa Katonda, ekitiibwa kye kibuutikidde Isirayiri; obuyinza bwe buli mu bire.
35 Fearful, O God, out of Your sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed [is] God!
Oli wa ntiisa, Ayi Katonda, mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu. Katonda wa Isirayiri, yawa abantu obuyinza n’amaanyi. Katonda atenderezebwe.
